About this map

The rolling plains of eastern Nebraska are defined here by a network of creeks and small family-named cemeteries. Several burial grounds, including Sousek Cem and Saint Johns Cem in the northern section, provide valuable location data for genealogists tracing early farming families in Colfax County. The landscape is deeply tied to its water sources, with the W Fork Maple Cr and Shell Creek cutting through the agricultural grid. Human modification of the drainage is visible through the Kasal Canal and the controlled paths of Dry Cr and S Fork Dry Cr. This area remains largely rural, dominated by section-line roads and scattered farmsteads that have persisted since the early settlement era. The inclusion of sites like Dry Creek Cem and Grandview Cem suggests a community landscape anchored by these quiet landmarks.
